- Partner activity added to the site https://www.sojustrepairit.org/partners/
- It’s all on one page right now
- Might be good to break it up somehow
- The photos really bring it to life
- TIG - remove TBD section for now
- Please provide any feedback on photos, layout, content etc!
- What about videos? Tata has some videos she made in Fresno, particularly of the state of the road to the schools
- Same goes for TIG - lots of video content
- Would be good to add once we create individual pages for each partner
- Consider the audience - low bandwidth vs high bandwidth
- Embedded video won’t load
- Compressed videos
- Readability score on the content
- Translated content?
- Captions for images
- Videos should be fully accessible
- Translation into indigenous languages
- English (at least) closed captions
- Other thoughts on layouts
- Partner sections collapsible
- Organise by themes or categories?
- Timeline would be nice too (both forward and backward looking)
- Multi-year, multi-modal projects like this are unusual - would be great to make it visible to all the partners
- This could change how we report out - perhaps by including more photos etc
- Seeing all the other partners work is great
- Future - some talk now about TIG / IDRC event related to Indigenous Rising Youth / Canada service Corps Alumni. Goal of meeting is to discuss how to make the brand and a ‘culture of service” more resonant with Indigenous communities.

TIG
- Have started drafting organisational culture budget
- Staff meetings - more inclusive - Liam has been attending and leading on this
- Staff members have been revealing disabilities to Liam
- Providing useful info about how to organise and facilitate staff meetings
- Wander walk - one of the activities - using as a kind of mini-pilot to run through the process of implementation and test it out
This content will make up the “Inclusive Activity Animation Guide”
- Think it up, send to individuals, staff mtg for feedback, (others are facilitating too), reflection on how it went,
- Another activity - Setting up priorities using Padlet (?)
- These are part of the process and the guide
- We have a remote team - half and half - some remote members want to be a part
- Aiming to include a glossary - presenteeism - being there but not present
- About 10 activities maybe
- Could share the draft
- Or have reviews at various “gates”
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/10G7rYrkJcxL4RNgRlHXSwivwvvGdJXL5xsgBwr-1YDw/edit
- School in Milton for kids with disabilities who reached out to TIG to come and speak
- Maybe a storytelling workshop? Something with inclusive design principles
- Let us know if you need help! Caren could help
- Have to figure out what they want first
- Doing it at their pace - let them lead
- Is it related to Bridges Canada? They are a partner on C2LC
IDRC
- Stories site
- Sepideh and Caren have been gathering stories about learning, various schools in Toronto, in Halifax with newcomers
- https://stories.floeproject.org/storyBrowse.html
- Stories about learning, people on the margins, agency, activism
- To play with story creation - you can use the demo that gets cleared each night http://staging-stories.floeproject.org/
- Gregor working on some of the bugs that have been surfaced - continuous improvement
- Caren working on next round design for the tool - where we want to take it in future
- Built not just from SJRK, also FLOE, and Coding 2 Learn and Create (C2LC)
- C2LC is a new project that’s happening at IDRC
- Working with Beverley School
- Tools for parents and siblings of the kids at Beverley School - kids with complex needs
- Potential to connect with TIGs Code to Learn
- Interim report coming up in May - phonecall with Oak
- We want to have lots of things to show - e.g. the website
- Probably also want to highlight the events we’ve done
- Can we start a list - Dana will create a Google doc and share
- Netlify - tool for authoring content - using on SJRK site - slightly better front end - with Hugo as static site generator
- Not the most usable
- Hoping it improves
- Stuck on CMS’s for now
- Prompted for alt-text for images which was good (did we set that up?)
